It was surprising to learn last week that the NFL did not plan to levy penalties to teams for inappropriate questioning of prospects at the NFL Scouting Combine. The attorney general's office in New York wants to know why the league concluded that no penalties were warranted. Judy Battista of the New York Times reported Monday that the NFL will meet with the attorney general's office Tuesday to explain its investigation. Colorado tight end Nick Kasa was one of multiple players to go on the record and indicate that NFL teams asked about his sexual preferences. The NFL made a strongly worded statement in the wake of the reports, but the league did not take any action last week after weeks of investigating the matter. "Our review has not established any specific violations, but we have made it clear to our clubs what is acceptable when interviewing potential players and other job candidates," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in a statement last week. "None of the players was able to recall which team asked any particular questions, let alone the ones of concern. It all happened during an informal period in which players met with over 20 teams."

I agree with you 100%. But the NFL is still not allowed to ask about your sexual preference Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
I'm not saying its right, but if you are a team that's investing millions and millions of dollars into a player, it's a some what legit question. They ask about relationships, parents, siblings, etc. during interviews, to know what they are investing in and the media circus (at this point) that could follow could be something you'd want to know before throwing $20M at a guy... Again, not saying I agree with it, but I can understand why they would ask.
